The next moment, dull explosions exploded in the mist one after another, blasting holes/gaps; unknown gray juice and rotten debris splattered on the rammed earth and plastered walls. . The faint hissing sound suddenly stopped.
Then, an overwhelmed wall suddenly collapsed together with the doors and windows; a large hole leading inside was immediately revealed. Immediately, Jiang Tian grabbed a kerosene bomb with his own hands and threw it straight into the hole with quick eyes and quick hands, and a large flame suddenly rose up.
There was a sizzling sound inside the burnt hole, and a strange burning smell billowed out. And in the rapidly spreading firelight, along with the swarming black shadows; the chaotic hissing sound suddenly surged like a tide, and turned into a swarm of aliens climbing out of the gap.
At this moment, most of the people present couldn't help but take a breath of cold air; because they were spider beasts as big as wheels, with black carapaces, burrs all over their bodies, and mouthparts like thick pincers; but their bodies were more or less stained with burning poison. Sparks were flying, trying to escape and jumping into the mist.
Then, amidst the faint whistling sound of the wind, more mist flowed out from the lower level of the lit building like strands; it was also being suppressed and consumed by the sizzling sound; it was burning inside. flames; and the flickering firelight also illuminates the criss-crossing interior.
At this moment, the layman sergeants who assembled the entire team and lined up outside did not hesitate to divide into several rows and fire the long and short firecrackers in their hands; only a dense explosion was heard into the fried beans; those spider beasts trying to hide in the mist suddenly disappeared. More than a dozen of them had their carapace cracked, their bodies penetrated, and their joints and limbs smashed.
The remaining spider beasts, as if being stimulated, suddenly jumped out of the mist and rushed towards the sergeant who was firing in formation. At the same time, they suddenly spit out streams of liquid, turning into a stream of liquid in the wind. Thin threads; then more bombs and kerosene bombs exploded.
It was blown to pieces with an explosion that was almost close at hand, and the remaining limbs were overturned and splashed; or it was engulfed by the rolling fire, burning and rolling into a charred ball. In the end, only a few spider beasts rushed in front of the array; then they were easily pierced and nailed to death by throwing spears.
However, this is just the beginning. It didn't take long for Jiang Tian's newly dispatched personnel to return under the leadership of Liu Suifeng, who patrolled the road. They also collected several large carts of rosin firewood and ready-made fuel charcoal from nearby villages and arranged them on the temporary defense line on the outside. Just in case.
Subsequently, more fuel and ignited objects were thrown into the open space in the hall by the sergeants on the periphery; the flames were also spreading, and the burning and stinking smoke billowed out, extinguishing the flowing and silent atmosphere outside. The mist becomes thinner as it is dispersed and evaporated by the burning.
But there was also a sergeant who accidentally got a piece of burned transparent silk strand stained on his unprotected face. Half of his face was immediately paralyzed, his mouth and tongue were crooked, and he could no longer speak complete words. There are also people who suddenly fainted because they were too close while advancing step by step.
Despite this, under the continuous and alternating fire offensive, most of the open space within the walls of Yunyang Pavilion, as well as the outer walls of the main buildings, were purified in disguise. The corpses of huge spider beasts were revealed to be scattered in the courtyard, either in pieces or charred and curled up.
At this time, the flames that continued to burn on the tile roof of the building finally burned through the beam supports and suddenly collapsed inward; they continued to smash through the third and second floor slabs one after another; dust splashed and Sparks were flying, stacked layer by layer above the lobby on the lowest floor.
However, at this time, through the twilight after the rain, the skylight penetrated through the air leakage gaps on the four sides of the building; everyone could see that occupying most of the space were large criss-crossing transparent strands, and on the four walls and ceiling, There are also many large and small, densely wound cocoons.
However, in Jiang Tian's field of vision, it was visible to the naked eye that most of the cocoon-like objects attached to the lobby were no longer moving, leaving only shrunken and shriveled outlines and openings stained with dots of red and black. They had obviously suffered a long time ago. The end was worrisome due to an accident.
"Continue, don't stop." Jiang Tian ordered without hesitation: "The main culprit has not been completely solved yet." Following his order, the sergeants who were stunned for a moment also faced him without hesitation. The gaps in the building were filled with more burning materials.
The next moment, the lobby floor covered with dense strands suddenly looked like a hill, with several huge bulges arching up. After breaking apart in an instant, many bulges spewed out like springs, so densely that it made people feel scalp numb. , like a spider beast with a gray carapace the size of a pot lid.
After the initial shock, these spider beasts, which seemed to be newly born and had brittle shells, were quickly blocked in various gaps, ready to be faced with swords, guns and shields. He was stabbed through the chest and abdomen skillfully and deftly, chopped into pieces, and his limbs were amputated; he fell back into the raging flames in the lobby.
For a moment, with the sound of beeping, burning and crackling, and a strong smell similar to roasted chitin, the ground was already covered with layers of burned and roasted remains of newborn spider beasts; and the ceiling The large and small cocoons attached to the four walls were also broken and peeled off by the smoke.
But the inside was exposed, and the bones were shriveled up like a mummy in an instant. In the end, the dense strands that were originally thickly spread on the ground were cut off in the flames, and flew up and turned into ashes with the hot air; the large and small holes corroded under the wooden floor of the lobby were also revealed.
"Be careful, everyone retreat and re-alert, there is something underground, and it is about to come out." At this time, Jiang Tian suddenly shouted: because in his field of vision, the previous spider beasts always showed "sub-bodies" Prompt, obvious changes suddenly occurred.
The direct members of the supervisory department who followed Jiang Tian, or the sergeants of the lay exploration team, all had great confidence and respect for him; in an instant, they all threw down all the superfluous things in their hands without hesitation. Like a tidal wave, they rushed out at least dozens of steps away.
Almost at the same time, the ground in the lobby suddenly cracked, splashing out a huge spring of earth; and then in the roar of some indescribable sound waves, the remaining parts of the lobby were knocked down and collapsed in one fell swoop. came down; most of the flame smoke was extinguished in the blink of an eye.
There were only ruins and dusty ruins left; however, Jiang Tian's expression became more solemn and he ordered again: "Expand the formation, prepare for firearm strikes..." Before he could finish his words, suddenly there was a sound like an electric detector in the dusty ruins. Two thick joints emerged, running through his body.
"Sir!" The team members and sergeants present couldn't help but exclaimed, but they did not cause an uproar; instead, they sped up spontaneously and retreated a hundred steps away again, out of the possible range of the ruins; and at this time The two thick jointed limbs were pulled out from the ground again.
The front end of the hook-shaped jointed limbs was empty except for the deep pit of freshly dug soil. The next moment, Jiang Tian suddenly fell from the sky and bombarded one of the bowl-thick jointed limbs like a cannonball; It is folded in the middle into two pieces with yellow juice splashing around.
Then, Jiang Tian grabbed another arthropod that was too late to retract, and suddenly twisted around and pulled; he saw the broken walls in the ruins flying everywhere again; and suddenly half of the spider beast's head was exposed, as big as a carriage; and then With a crisp crack, the limb was torn out by the roots.
This also seemed to anger and sting the giant spider beast with only half of its head exposed underground. As the surge lasted for a short time, the ground shook, making it almost impossible to stand; a huge spider beast rose from the ground with its head holding a large piece of debris, seemingly slowly and overwhelmingly submerging Jiang Tian.
However, this time it still missed, but it also exposed most of the body hidden underground to the broad daylight; it was a giant alien with a body like a mole cricket and a head like a spider. "Lord of the Crypt", for some reason this term suddenly appeared in Jiang Tian's mind.
The next moment, firearm attacks from the peripheral sergeants followed one after another; in an instant, his head was enveloped in flames and smoke from the explosion. However, the damage and impact it caused seemed to be quite limited; instead, it attracted the attention of the giant spider beast.
In an instant, a large stream of smoke suddenly hissed out from its mouthparts with giant pincers, and turned into a rapidly condensing and spreading mist in the air; then, it suddenly shot out in the mist. More than a dozen transparent threads penetrated the ground, trees, and walls like arrows and spears.
Then, with half of its body shrouded in mist, it gently shook its head, and these transparent strands burst out into the air with a whistling cracking sound; in an instant, the ground, trees and walls that would have penetrated were covered by it. The broken pieces dragged along, and then swept across with full elasticity.
In an instant, several spear poles and regimental cards held by the scattered sergeants were cut off; a sergeant who was unable to dodge had half of his arms and legs cut off; and finally, the force continued unabated. The cart carrying firewood exploded into pieces and flew into the sky.
At the same time, the fat back belly of this giant spider beast was also squirming fiercely; and then with some kind of outward squeezing wave, in the ruins where its rear half was buried, it suddenly started to move. More and more small spider beasts like the size of a pot lid emerged, making loud noises.
These small spider beasts with white translucent carapaces began to turn gray and harden visibly to the naked eye the moment they were unearthed and exposed to the air; then, in the rhythm of some low-frequency sound waves, they rushed up and hissed. Come; swarm upon the fleeing sergeants.
Seeing that the defense line set up on the outside is about to be overwhelmed by these spider beasts. The villagers who were summoned to transport firewood further away screamed and ran away without their lives. However, it seemed to have forgotten an important key: Jiang Tian fell silently on its back.
